The End?

Post navigation

the world split aparton that lovely warm daythe beauty froze overgrew colder and diedthe earth blew apartand nothing was right

the pole ends of the worldwere a man and a womanthe pole ends of the worldwhich held everything togetherthe pole ends of the worldwhich exploded and blackened

the man is unable to livethere is no air for him to breathethe air is frozen, the air is deadthe woman is indecisive and confusedor so we all think — does she know where she’s going?will she ever come back?

the earth split apartas did the man and the womanthe one lucky starits light fades awaythese two lucky peoplegone and away?

i’d like to dedicate this poem to my friend Josh Durham. He’s gone through a lot lately and this is for him, completely for him. he read this and wrote a response to it called “2nd chance” if you want to read feel free, to at his blog.
